Prentice (New Frontier Glub) One cannot recommend too highly this book on the gallant defence by the Spanish people of their capital. In a sense it might be a continuation of Frank Pitcairn’s “Reporter In Spain” for, while lacking Pit- cairn’s more intimate personal touch, its reportorial range is wider and more detailed. Cox, Madrid correspondent of the Liberal London Wews-Chronicle is obviously not so class-conscious as Piteairn. There are no bursts of impatience with Britih Labor lead- ets, no anger at distorted and false press reports, no scathing denunci- ations of the vicious non-interven- tion pact. If there is any adverse €riticism to be levelled at “Defence of Medrid,”’ it must be on this Score, that Cox has failed to stress this infamous bit of international law-breaking and to place the blame Squarely where it belongs. Thoroughly dealt with is the growth and development of the People’s Army, despite the many serious handicaps which had to be overcome. The role of the Soviet Union in its assistance to the Peo- ple’s Front is also brought out in high relief, To the Madrid Defence Council and the International Brigade goes the author’s most lavish praise, as rightfully it Should. Cox attaches great importance to the work of the defence council in mobilizing the citizens. Some of the passages dealing with the International Brigade are in- spiring in their sweep and depth of emotion. The personalities behind this great body of anti-Fascists spring to life and even non-partisan readers cannot fail to understand the ideals and convictions which imspire those fighting to defend {eae SS s OWL , s Messenger & Transfer + 3 TRINITY 453: v 4 ‘rucks for Hire — Any Size 4 4 24-hour Service — Rate 25c & up # City TAXI SEY. 988 The Loggers’ Friend PATRONIZE NEW LION HOTEL Lett Book _ world democracy, so Vividly does j Cox write of them. | There is an interesting analysis | of Fascist stratesy and Cox makes abundantly clear the reasons for Pranco’s repeated failures. The in- demiutable spirit of the people fight- ing against terrific odds, the meta- morphosis of the reactionary forces, the change of tne nature of the War, are clearly revealed. In connection with the falsifica- tion of news, mention is lade of the high guality of the wor: per- fermed by foreign news corres- pondents. Cox advances the naive Suggestion that fabrication of news reports is unnecessary because truth is stranger than fiction. De- letion distortion and miusinterpreta— tion by editorial staffs do not seem to have occurred to him. : This is a minor deflection from an otherwise realistic treatment of facts, however. It is to be regretted that desire of the London WNews- “I'm still active in business, too.” Chronicle to cater to the public's demand for romance brought about Cox's recall from Madrid to report an event historically far Jess im- portant—the abdication of Hdward VI. SHANGHAL PARADISE OF ADVENTURERS — By G. EH. Miller. Orsay. $2.50. Reviewed by QO. MM. Adwanced in this very readable Volume is the view that the con- quest of Manchuria by Japanese imperialism was the forerunner of the seizure of Ethiopia by Fascist Italy, which in turn was the fore- runner of the Fascist invasion of Spain today. The possibility of a world war arising out of this viola- tien of a people's democratic rights, of international law itself, requires little elaboration here; it is all too obvious. Related is the revealing story of how, back in 1931-32, when Lord Lytton and his co-commissioners were sent to investigate the Japa- nese invasion of Manchuria by the league of Nations, they wasted two precious weeks wining and dining in Japan where they were lavishly entertained. During these same fateful two weeks thousands of Chinese non- combatants were being slaughtered by Japanese artillery and hopes of world peace were erumbling. Miller is the pseudonym of 4 one-time diplomat in the Far Past who thoroughly understands the things of which he writes so re- vealingly.

Before long the wife who. like as not, is working to make up her husband’s inadequate income, finds she is going to have a haby. She has to quit her job. The child when it arrives, does not set proper nourishment, is bad tempered through lack of attention and a rift is caused in what mizht otherwise be a happy married life.
